int echo(void);
int noecho(void);
DESCRIPTION
The echo() function enables Echo mode for the current screen. The noecho() function disables Echo mode for the current screen. Initially,
curses software echo mode is enabled and hardware echo mode of the tty driver is disabled. The echo() and noecho() functions control soft-
ware echo only. Hardware echo must remain disabled for the duration of the application, else the behavior is undefined.

typeahead(3XCURSES) X/Open Curses Library Functions typeahead(3XCURSES)NAME
typeahead - check for type-ahead characters
SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag... ] file... -I /usr/xpg4/include -L /usr/xpg4/lib
-R /usr/xpg4/lib -lcurses [ library... ]
c89 [ flag... ] file... -lcurses [ library... ]
#include <curses.h>
int typeahead(int fd);
PARAMETERS
fd Is the file descriptor that is used to check for type-ahead characters.
DESCRIPTION
The typeahead() function specifies the file descriptor (fd) to use to check for type-ahead characters (characters typed by the user but not
yet processed by X/Open Curses).
X/Open Curses checks for type-ahead characters periodically while updating the screen. If characters are found, the current update is
postponed until the next refresh(3XCURSES) or doupdate(3XCURSES). This speeds up response to commands that have been typed ahead. Nor-
mally, the input file pointer passed to newterm(3XCURSES), or stdin in the case of initscr(3XCURSES), is used for type-ahead checking.
If fd is -1, no type-ahead checking is done.
RETURN VALUES
On success, the typeahead() function returns OK. Otherwise, it returns ERR.
ERRORS
None.

Hi guys :)
I'm having a slight problem. Every time I run the StartX command from my csh, it just says cannot access terminal. Can anyone tell me why this is and what it means?
Thank you :)
